I certain new and useful Improvements in Toy Firearms, of which the following is a specification. I I

This invention relates to toy 'fire arms.

The article may be any one of several differ-:'

ent types. In that form of embodiment of the invention which I have selected for illustration in the drawings accompanying and forming part of the" present specification, the article is shown as a toy pistol. It might be nature. This illustration I will set forth in detail in the following description so that those skilled in the art may practice the invention. Obviously I am not restricted to the exact disclosure made by said drawings and description. I may depart therefrom in several respects within the scope of the invention defined by the claims following said description. It is the custom in the production of toy pistols,toy' rifles and like pieces of ordnance made as play things, to have them of sectional form, the sections being cast and united by screws or otherwise, the so-called action being supported by one of the secduced and assembled than where itsparts tions. 'I provide a construction which is capable of manufacture. This novel construction c0m prises two sides or outer sections and an intermediate section, all of them being of sheet metal. Owing to this fact the article can be more inexpensively andrapidly pro are cast. In the present case the two outer sheet metal sections and the intermediate I action supporting section can be formed by suitable dies from sheet metaland'they can be held in operative relation by rivets which can be readily headed for the purpose.

eferring to said drawings:

Figure 1 is a side view of the fire arm with one of the side sections removed. Fig. 2 is a cross section on the line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a top plan.

will be clear of course that these sides are formed from sheet metal stock and they are practically the same in construction.

The action-supporting plate sustains the hammer 5 the operative adapted to strike a paper capplaced upon the anvil 6 presented by mating portions on the sides 'or sections 2, the said sides or sections having a slot for the passage and proper action the hammer is the trigger 7.

The hammer 5 is mounted for swinging movement and it ordinarily but not essentially fits flatwise the action-supporting plate 4 which has a 7 lug on the hammer 5 its necessary swing is clamped the portion of which is i of the hammer 5; Rigid with. i

The various I mounted upon the plate 4: and when they are this plate with its parts as a unit will be positioned between the sides or sections 2 and the parts held in firm relation between the sections 2.

The action-supporting plate 4 closely fits between the sections 2 which obviously limits its motion. To aid further in securing this result, said plate may have on its edges at propel-places lugs or ears 11 which extend 1.
